That's the problems with nuclear weapons: all it takes is
one little moment of madness and what follows is out
of control.
Therefore, having Bush's finger on the button is a real
worry for the international community, especially as his miserable time
in office draws to an end.
One of the ironies of nukes is this: When you possess nuclear weapons as a way to control others who may develop them, you migh "control" others into obtaining them as well. Presumably, even the Bush Administration understands this danger, but they're concealing it in rhetoric.

When power speaks, it's bound to get replies.
